MUSICAL PICTURE-CASE.

The Sche'ule :refenfed to in these Lette'x'slPatent and making part oi the same.

To all (wlwm it 'may concern Be it known that I FRANz FRIEDERIGH KULL- RICH, of Berlin, in vthe Kingdom of Prussia, have iuvented a new and im'proved Instrument for Oombined Audible and Visible Display; and I 'do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make 'and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. i

Figure 1 represents a plan view, partly in section, of my improved instrument for combined audible and visible display.

Figure 2 is a Vertical section of the same, the'plane of section being indicated by the line :z x, fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a detail transverse section of the same, the plane of section being in'dicated by the line y y, fi 2.

gSimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invent-ion relates to a new comhinatiomwith a music-box, of an apparatus for displaying, through a suitable opening, a series of pictures in snccession, so that whenever the music is played, the panorama will be in motion.

The invention consists chiefiy in the application, to a music-box, of au additional roller, parallel to that one by which the music is produced, and in hangug an endless band around said two rollers, so that said band is moved by the rotatiou of the music-roller, to display pictures that are on said band, in successiou through a suitable aperture of the case which encloses the whole mechanism.

A, iii the drawing, is the music-roller or drum, which is hung in a frame, B, and connected, by gear-Wheels a a, with a main-spring in a case, O, so that by means of the said spring, the drum A can berevolved.

Upon the peiiphery of the drum are set pins b b, which, as the drum is` revolved, strike against and elevate, in -the 'requisite succession, the reeds D D, by which the music is roduced.

The drum may longitudinally adjustable iu its' bearings, as in all music-boxes, for the purpose of producing different chimes. E is a. lever, for looking the drum after a chime has beeu played. It is thrown into a notch or indeuture in the end of the drum by a spring, o, and can, by a suitable lever, F, or by hand or otherwise, bc moved or held away from the same.

G is a roller, hnng in a sliding frame, H, some distance from and parallel with the drum A.

The frame H is, by Springs d d, drawn away from the drum; The drum and roller are of equ'al diameters.

I is an endless belt or band, placed around the roller G and drum A.

`.To the outer face of this belt'arel painted, printed, or otherwise applied, pictures of suitable kind.

The springs d serve to hold the band tense ou the rollei` and drum.

The whole mechanism is enclosed in a case, J, which may be in form of a photographic album, ladies'workbox, or other suitable device. In said case is an opening, e, through which one of the lpictures on the band may be seen. When the drum is in motion, the band will also be turned, and the pictureson it will pass in succession under the aperture e, so as to be displayed in proper order.

The apparatus produces thus a moving panorama, together with music of suitable kind.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The endless band I, carryiug the pictures, in

combination with the drum A .of a music-box, all arranged so that the band is'moved when the music is in action, as set forth.

2. The roller G, held by Springs d, away from the music-drum A, for the purpose of keeping the band tense, as specitied. y

3. The case or box J, coutaiuing a music-box and picture-belt, and provided with an aperture, through which the pictures are ldisplayed successively while the music'is in action, as set forth.

The above specification of my inventiou signed by me, this 10th day of August, 1869.
